DISCUSSION...Isolated storms are gradually strengthening early this afternoon across southeast NY and also across central MA. A low-amplitude shortwave trough approaching southern New England may support additional storm development through the afternoon, as any remaining MLCINH across the region continues to diminish. Low/midlevel flow is not particularly strong, but modest veering of the wind profile with height will support 20-30 kt of effective shear, which could support modest storm organization in the presence of moderate buoyancy. Steepening low-level lapse rates will support isolated damaging-wind potential with the strongest storms, while small to marginally severe hail cannot be ruled out. ..Dean/Hart.. 07/15/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
